When is EA going to do something about coin buying/selling?

EA_Vendcera​EA_Edu​EA_Bia​ The new POTM Mbappe SBC costs in excess of 4 million coins in terms of player requirements for the SBCs. For most people who do not buy FC Points, they will turn to coin sellers. And this is what I do not understand. With some of the biggest influencers on YouTube (Danny Aarons, NepentheZ to name just two) and on X (Twitter) - Fut Sheriff is the highest profile - blatantly advertising the services of coinsellers, what are EA doing nothing? Apparently the services being advertised boast of being ‘ban free’ and ‘100% safe’. 
Why are EA not only enforcing the Terms of Service more strictly when it comes to players who buy coins, but more importantly, why are EA not banning these content creators from using the game, and spoiling it for everyone who plays by the rules?

    I cannot believe that there has not even been an acknowledgment from an EA employee that this is an issue, and that they will prioritise a crackdown on this.

    Trust me EA knows about this...they just choose to do nothing about it. There are streamers offering to play your futchanps on THEIR YOUTUBE CHANNEL...they choose not to do anything about it.....Servers?! They choose to do nothing about it. Instead they make a promo for fc 26 promising fast gameplay and yet all my games are slow and sluggish on console. They choose not to do anything about it. 

    So i just dont buy coins from sellers or from EA they are both the same to me. Dishonest.

    EA_Vendcera​,EA_Edu​,EA_Bia​ Do I need to keep posting about this problem every day until it is acknowledged and addressed? Or is the lack of any response because EA prefers the additional publicity these influencers give the game and are therefore willing to turn a blind eye? I’ll keep posting until I get an answer…

    Instead, they will ban players from playing not just one specific game, but the entire series forever, that is, all past games (including the former "fifa") and future EA FC games simply because they sold, for example, silver players at inflated average starting prices for a certain period of time. Yes, selling, for example, silver players at inflated prices is not very good, but banning the entire series of games for this, including future games? Isn't this an equating to repeat hackers? Can this be proportionate? In addition, there is no clear criterion in the EA FC rules on their official website that would firmly say: if you inflate the starting price of a particular player or item by this much (a specific figure, percentage), then this is already considered illegal and abuse of this can lead to sanctions (it should also be indicated what sanctions). The vast majority of players do not read the rules, the user agreement on the official EA website in full. But what is most surprising - again - if even if not every second, then every third player carefully read the rules in full, then he would still not understand what exactly he can be punished for and how. Is this fair, is this legal? And what is interesting is that when you demand explanations for the reasons for the ban, they do not even explain anything in essence, they just send some formal template answers again and again. This cannot be! And in combination with the topic you raised, it is generally unclear what is happening.

  • Brininho101 has been permanently banned by EA - apparently for system abuse - when he has done no such thing. No hacks, no buying / selling of coins, no use of third party “boosting” services to play his games - no breach of any of the terms of service whatsoever (apart from those disconnect notices which now pop up whenever you are chucked out of a game - which is ironic when that is nearly always due to a problem with the servers or because of a hacker). 
    Either he has been hacked, or EA have banned him because they did not like these posts.
